Title: military tires
Post by: ice87 on August 01, 2011, 11:52:16 PM
Was wondering if anyone has used the 37/12.5r16.5 Goodyear military tires on the road?  Was looking to see because I need to run around a 37 on my pavement pounder and these are cheap. Thanks for any advice

If you can get them to balance they will be better on road than the tires you have.

I have them tires with 8 ounces of balancing beads. They still shake around 30 to 40 but the faster u go the smoother they are. One tire seems out of round, I just run it on the rear. Mine have the PVC inserts in them cause I run them around 10 at the dunes. They are very good in the sand. You can run the two different ways., but really are not a" directional tire"  everyone that comments on them says they wear like steel. They aren't very loud. My dayton timberline m/t I have on my diesel are WAY louder.
